Biography
Ibrahim Azad was born on 5 August 1970 in Mecca, Saudi Arabia to a family of Shi'ite Muslims. Azad joined Hezbollah al-Hejaz alongside Shakir Karam, and the two of them planned terrorist attacks against Westerners and Sunnis. On 24 June 1996 they used TATP explosive belts to carry out a suicide attack in Jeddah that killed 4 and wounded 16. While Karam detonated his belt in a video store, Azad pretended to flee from the scene before detonating his explosives in rush hour near traffic; the explosion claimed 3 of the 4 lives and 9 of the 16 wounded.
